fyrer

example config file fyrer.yml:

installers:
  - dir: ./project1
    cmd: pip install -r requirements.txt

services:
  - name: server1
    cmd: python -m http.server 8000
    dir: ./project1
    env_path: .env.local  ## .env file path
    env:                  ## overrides the .env file
      PORT: 8000
      ENV: dev

  - name: server2
    cmd: npm start
    dir: ./project2
    watch: true  # enable hot reload
    ignore:
      - "node_modules/**"
      - "*.db"

Notes

• watch: true enables file monitoring for that server.
• Ignore patterns follow glob syntax.
• restarts servers when watched files change.
